Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Effects of Covid-19 on Further Education and Training: Discussion

Mr. Andrew Brownlee:

We are very flexible. Education and training came from delivering shorter and focused courses to meet industry needs. The gap - this may relate to the Senator’s question on finance - is in investment in digital infrastructure and ICT to bring many of these offerings online. We are very committed to green skills. FET learners can be agents for change and we are looking at how we can embed green skills modules in every single FET course. That is part of the strategy.
